Exciting news for Merthyr Tydfil! A massive indoor ski slope and leisure resort is set to become the new hotspot as plans for Rhydycar West take off. After the Welsh Government gave the green light, construction is expected to begin in 2027 with doors opening by 2030.
This game-changing development will feature the UK’s largest indoor snow centre, perfect for our Welsh and GB Snow Sport teams, and resembles top European facilities like SnowWorld in the Netherlands. Skiing, anyone?
But wait, there’s more! Picture this: an indoor tropical water park with thrilling slides and a lazy river, an adventure centre for the adrenaline junkies among us, and accommodation choices galore—from luxury spa suites to family-friendly rooms, plus cosy woodland lodges.
Robin Kellen from Snowsport Cymru Wales is thrilled with this boost for snow sports. He sees it as a beacon for budding talents and a platform for Wales to shine on the snow sports stage.
Councillors are buzzing too. Andrew Barry highlights the resort’s potential to uplift Merthyr’s economy, offering opportunities for local businesses and fostering community growth. Meanwhile, Brent Carter is all in for making Merthyr Tydfil a world-class destination.
Get ready to hit the slopes and soak in all the fun as Merthyr transforms into the ultimate leisure spot! 🏂🏊♂️🚡 #MerthyrTydfil #SkiResort #ExcitingTimesAhead
